It's been an eventful week in the United States due to the midterm elections, but a lot more has gone on in the past 24 hours alone.

CNN's Jim Acosta has had his White House press credentials withdrawn following a heated exchange with Donald Trump at a press conference yesterday.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been heavily criticised for claiming Acosta "placed his hands" on the intern who tried to take his microphone, with CNN stating that this never happened.

Cal Thomas says he is disgusted by the incident, which he describes as "so unnecessary for the country", while Marion McKeone adds: "I think Donald Trump went out there yesterday looking for a fight."

Meanwhile, many are suggesting that Trump's behaviour may have been a deliberate distraction from the firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Cal and Marion discussed all of this, as well as last night's mass shooting in California which killed 12 people.
